I just finished his ouvre of 12 books fetauring Dave
Brandstetter. They stood on my shelf for a long time. When
you're hetero, you don't want to read about faggots. [...]
But the homosexual viewpoint never got to me once. Surprise?
Well - yes.

--Geir--this is neither the most persuasive nor the cleverest
way of getting your points across. As an essentially-white
middleaged American man, there are All Kinds of people I may
not be very like who I'll be happy to read about, and won't
even need to use epithets, however humorously intended (I
hope), to describe them after the fact.

But I guess it does reinforce the genuineness of your
surprise. TM
